1.1 Introduction
Serial number:
PIN code:
The serial number is on the product rating plate and on the product carton.
• Use the serial number to register your product on www.husqvarna.com.
1.2 Support
For support about the product, speak to your
Husqvarna servicing dealer.
1.2.1 Complete Operator’s Manual
A complete operator's manual is available on
Husqvarna’s website www.husqvarna.com. It
is more in detail about e.g. instructions about
installation, maintenance, troubleshooting and
menu structure.
1.2.2 Product description
Note: Husqvarna regularly updates the
appearance and function of the products.
Refer to 
Support on page 2
.
The product is a robotic lawn mower. The
product has a battery power source and cuts
the grass automatically. Collection of grass is
not necessary.
The operator selects the operation settings
with the buttons on the keypad. The display
shows the selected and possible operation
settings, and the operating mode of the
product.
The boundary wire and the guide wire control
the movement of the product within the work
area.
1.2.2.1 Automower

 Connect
Automower
®
 Connect is a mobile application
that makes it possible to select the operation
settings remotely. Refer to 
Connectivity on
page 20
.
1.3 Capacity
How big an area the product can keep cut
depends primarily on the condition of the
blades and the type, growth and moisture of
the grass. The shape of the yard is also
significant. If the yard mainly consists of open
lawn areas, the product can mow more per
hour than if the yard consists of several small
lawns separated by trees, flower beds and
passages. For working capacity, refer to 
Technical data on page 26
.
It is recommended to allow the product to
mainly mow in dry weather to obtain the best
possible result. The product can also mow in
rain, however wet grass easily sticks on the
product and there is a greater risk of slipping
in steep slopes. The blades must be in good
condition to obtain the best mowing result. In
order to keep the blades sharp for as long as
2 - Introduction
1418 - 001 - 04.12.2019

possible it is important to keep the lawn free

from branches, small stones and other

objects. Replace the blades regularly. Refer to

Replace the blades on page 23

.

1.4 Movement pattern

The movement pattern of the product is

random. This means that the lawn is mown

evenly without any mowing lines.

1.5 Working method

Automower

®

315X/430X/450X use GPS-

assisted navigation to start mowing in a place

in the yard where it has not been lately. For

the other models you might have to set remote

start settings to make sure that the lawn is cut

evenly, refer to the complete Operator’s

Manual on Husqvarna’s website.

When the product hits an obstacle or

approaches the boundary wire the product

reverses and selects a new direction. Sensors

at the front and back will sense when the

product is approaching the boundary wire. The

front always passes the boundary wire by a

specific distance before the product turns

around. The distance can be changed to

adapt to the installation if required.

The STOP button on the top of the product is

mainly used to stop the product when it’s

running. When the STOP button is pushed a

hatch opens, behind which there is a control

panel. The STOP button remains pushed in

until the hatch is closed again. This together

with the START button acts as a start inhibitor.

Note: Always push the START button before

closing the hatch to start the product. If the

START button is not pushed, a message beep

is heard and the product will not start.

Note: When the product is started for the first

time, a start-up sequence begins which

includes a number of important basic settings,

refer to

To do the basic settings

in the

complete Operator’s Manual on Husqvarna’s

website.

1.6 Finding the charging station

The Automower

®

305/310/315/315X/

420/430X/440/450X can be set to search for

the charging station in up to 3 different ways.

The product automatically combines these 3

search methods to locate the charging station

as fast as possible, but also to avoid as much

tracks forming as possible. Automower

always follows the guide wire to the charging

station.

3 Installation

3.1 Connecting the power supply

Take the following into consideration when

planning where to place the power supply:

• Close to the charging station

• Protection from rain

• Protection from direct sunlight

WARNING: The product is only to

be used with a power supply unit

supplied by Husqvarna.

When connecting the power supply, only use

a wall socket that is connected to an earth

fault-breaker (RCD).

WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.

Install only to an earth-fault breaker

(RCD) when connecting the power

supply to the wall socket. For USA/

CANADA: Use a covered Class A

GFCI receptacle (RCD) that has an

enclosure that is weatherproof with

the attachment plug cap inserted or

removed.

WARNING: No parts of the power

supply must be changed or

tampered with. The low voltage

cable must not be shortened or

extended.

Low-voltage cables of different lengths are

available as accessories.

WARNING: The power supply

cable and extension cable must be

outside the work area to avoid

damage to the cables.

WARNING: Do not under any

circumstances mount the power

supply at a height where there is a

risk it can be submerged in water (at

minimum 30 cm / 12" from the

ground). It is not permitted to place

the power supply on the ground.

min 30 cm / 12”

WARNING: Use the plug to

disconnect the charging station, for

instance before cleaning the

charging station or repairing the loop

wire.

WARNING: Place the low voltage

cable and adjust the cutting height

so that the blades on the blade disc

can never come in contact with the

cable.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

damage to electrical components,

disconnect all connections to the

charging station (power supply,

boundary wire and guide wires) if

there is a risk of a thunderstorm.

WARNING: Do not encapsulate

the power supply. Condensed water

can harm the power supply and

increase the risk of electrical shock.

often to obtain the best mowing

result. Consequently, it is

important to limit the operating

time using the

Schedule

function if

the work area is less than the

product’s work capacity. The

Schedule

function is also an ideal

tool to control which periods the

product should not mow, for

example when children are playing

on the lawn.

Cutting height

Applicable for Automower

®

420/430X/440/450X

The cutting height can be varied

from MIN (1) to MAX (9). During

the loop wire. After this, the cutting

height can be lowered one step

every week until the desired

cutting height has been reached.
